So I’ve seen that there are tons of RU fans on here that live in the Philly area, but unlike fans all the way out in Arizona, there are somehow never any watch parties in the Philly area for any of the basketball or football games, not even for the huge ones…. So considering how great the games have been and how huge these last few are, it seems like it’s about time to pick a bar and start packing it for every game instead of watching the electricity in the RAC alone on our couches! Anyone want to try and help pick a spot to be the home of Rutgers Nation in the Philly area? Hoping to figure it all out just in time to watch our boys shock the world again tomorrow night, while surrounded by RU fans!
Rutgers Nation Philly
- Thread starter Krc409
- Start date
I know there have been Rutgers gatherings at PJ Whelihans on Route 70 in Marlton/Cherry Hill.
Since Arizona was mentioned I'll ask this here... I'm in Arizona and I watch our games alone in my living room, or occasionally with my wife if (and only if) Sweet Pea is able to get her interested in a game... Anybody know if any bars or restaurants in the southern AZ area regularly show RU games?
WhiteBus organized a couple football watch parties a few years back at O’Neals on South Street that I think were pretty well attended. But yeah it’s been a few years since I’ve seen anything organized in Philly.
Rutgers Alumni groups all over the country, including Arizona—
Monk's cafe still around? Not exactly center city. Great fries and great Belgians
No longer going to be in Philly but yes Monks is still there. One of the best places in Philly.
No TVs. I love the place. Highly rated in the US. But not a sports joint.
As mentioned O'Neal's on 3rd need South Street. Have had a many watch parties there (then came along Ash) full house upstairs everytime. Rutgers only upstairs and full sound.
It's the best game of the day so can't imagine why any bar that plays sports wouldn't throw it on... NFL is over
A good bar owner/manager would try to accommodate their patrons to keep them there as long as possible
But I’ve been to places that are stubborn and would rather show something THEY are into rather than their customers
I know of Chickie and Pete's but that's in South Philly. @WhiteBus aren't there a couple in Rittenhouse Square?
Ok I was misrembering it as the other side of South Street ( where all the hippies meet). It was my go to place before heading to a Phillies game. Thanks!It's in the heart of Center City. 16th between Locust and Spruce.
I'd be all for a spot in Philly or in South Jersey. I'm only about 35 min. from Center City, a little off of Exit 2 (NJTPK). Would love a regular spot somewhere in Center City or in SJ.
Sure! Let me know how many are going and I'll give him a heads up. Need your vax cards.
Not anymore that I know of and Rittenhouse Square is $$$$ anymore.
Something to consider …we need one in bucks county …lot of Rutgers in yardley and Newtown ….
I’m right on the border of bucks county in Philly. I would like a spot to go to there as well.
Try the Green Parrot in Newtown. Good pub grub and lots of TVs. Boddington on tap.
